Call things what they are

Just as calling an illegal migrant an “undocumented citizen” or calling a man a woman (actually denying science) does not make it so. Calling a commonsense Democrat (an increasingly oxymoronic term) a Republican does not mean that you are offering unbiased reporting on an organic exodus from the GOP.

I have really tried to be polite, but I am sick and tired of people blaming the residents of Woodlawn for the horrible business decisions by the owners of the 140 acres doomed to ruin.

Dennis George’s column is out of bounds, a lost ball in tall weeds. Mr. George did not contact the board of the Woodlawn Springs Homeowners Association to research his article. He is entitled to his opinion. He is not entitled to criticize homeowners who have been struggling with weeds, copperheads, mice, rats, voles and unsafe conditions in our neighborhood for years, not months.

On behalf of myself, staff, volunteers and the patients of the Nelson County Community Clinic, I would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Executive Director Laura Sedlatschek and the Board of Directors of the Tri-County Kentucky United Way for the very generous $13,000 donation to the clinic. The health care needs of our community are extreme, and it is because of organizations such as the United Way that we can provide for the medical, dental, dentures, vision, pharmacy and Medicare benefits counseling needs of our patients.

I find it disappointing when the superintendent and board members of Nelson County Schools refer to repositioning of administrators to classroom teachers as “a demotion.”

Classroom teaching is the most important job to the professional field of education. Being a classroom teacher is never a demotion.
